NOTE
Static IGMP groups are supported only in Layer 3 mode.
Setting the query interval
The IGMP query interval period defines how often a switch will query an interface for group
membership. Possible values are 10 – 3,600 seconds and the default value is 125 seconds, but
the value you enter must be a little more than twice the group membership time.
To modify the default value for the IGMP query interval, enter the following.
BigIron RX(config)# ip igmp query-interval 120
Syntax: ip igmp query-interval <10-3600>
The interval must be a little more than two times the group membership time.
Setting the group membership time
Group membership time defines how long a group will remain active on an interface in the absence
of a group report. Possible values are from 20 – 7200 seconds and the default value is 140
seconds.
To define an IGMP membership time of 240 seconds, enter the following.
BigIron RX(config)# ip igmp group-membership-time 240
Syntax: ip igmp group-membership-time <20-7200>
Setting the maximum response time
The maximum response time defines the maximum number of seconds that a client can wait
before it replies to the query sent by the router. Possible values are 1 – 10. The default is 10.
To change the IGMP maximum response time, enter a command such as the following at the global
CONFIG level of the CLI.
BigIron RX(config)# ip igmp max-response-time 8
Syntax: [no] ip igmp max-response-time <num>
The <num> parameter specifies the maximum number of seconds for the response time. Enter a
value from 1 – 10. The default is 10.
